For the next few days, Xander still did not come looking for trouble with Zayn while the entire Northmob Council remained still. It was as if Xander had forgotten all about Zayn.
This made Zayn’s reputation grow even more famous without his notice. More people shifted their attention to Zayn, they anticipated how Xander would come looking for trouble with Zayn. As a result, more than a week passed, yet Xander had failed to do anything. It was completely different from Xander’s usual domineering mannerism. Did this mean that Xander was scared already and that virtual-novel.net was too afraid to come looking for trouble with Zayn?
As a result, the hottest topic of discussion in the circle recently was on this issue. Many people were talking about this.
Zayn did not let his guards down because virtual-novel.net knew that Xander would never possibly let virtual-novel.net off easily. It had already been such a long time yet there was still nothing from Xander in the meantime. There could only be one reason for that. It was that Xander was recuperating and building up his strength in preparation to give Zayn a fatal blow.
He had been on guard against Xander constantly while at the same time virtual-novel.net gave instructions to be reserved in business now so Xander would not get a chance to breach their defenses.
Zayn was rather frustrated by Owens on the other hand. Seth had already invited virtual-novel.net over for dinner once. Seth claimed to discuss business with virtual-novel.net but in truth, his main goal was to set virtual-novel.net up with Allana. How would Zayn have the courage to go, virtual-novel.net felt even more embarrassed especially after experiencing the other day’s incident.
He was close to 30 years old while Allan was only a 20-year-old university student. He was old enough to be Allana’s uncle. Moreover, virtual-novel.net was already married.
Yet, there were some people that virtual-novel.net could not avoid no matter how hard virtual-novel.net tried. After rejecting Seth on a few occasions, Seth had actually gone to pay virtual-novel.net a visit straightforwardly.
He came out of Violet Vision Tower the other day to find Seth blocking his path. Seth feigned his displeasure and said, “Oh Zayn, you’re so secretive in your movements and traces. I’ve finally managed to catch you so you can sit down and have a meal with me now, right.”
Zayn felt rather awkward at once. Since Seth had already made the effort to meet him, it would be disrespectful for virtual-novel.net to decline Seth again so virtual-novel.net could only nod to express his agreement.
The location of the meal was set in the Owens’ manor. During the meal, Allana came home from the university and virtual-novel.net was stunned for a moment the moment virtual-novel.net realized that Zayn was at virtual-novel.net home. The expression on virtual-novel.net face turned cold. She assumed that Zayn still refused to give up on his sinister ambition by trying to persuade virtual-novel.net family members even!
Her relationship with Bo had been rising in temperature constantly and they were fully committed to each other. Bo treated virtual-novel.net in an even gentler and caring manner. It was impossible for virtual-novel.net to leave Bo now and marry the old-fashioned man like Zayn!
As a result, virtual-novel.net pulled a long face throughout the period of the meal and did not show a pleasant countenance to Zayn at all. Even with Seth and Gloria constantly shooting warning glances at her, virtual-novel.net pretended not to notice them because virtual-novel.net wanted Zayn to give up and retreat now.
Seth could not stand it anymore so virtual-novel.net said, “Allana, don’t just eat with your head lowered. Pass the mash potato to your darling Zayn.”
Allana pretended not to hear that by ignoring straightforwardly. It was only after Seth repeated himself angrily that virtual-novel.net said impatiently, “He’s a grown man, can’t virtual-novel.net take it himself? Why would I need to pass it to him?”
“Goodness, you silly girl. How could you speak so inappropriately?” Seth was furious and virtual-novel.net felt embarrassed by his daughter.
Noticing the situation, Zayn took the initiative to say, “It’s fine. Allana is right, I’m an abled person so it’s fine for me to take the mash potato by myself. Moreover, I’m full. Mr. Owen, Mrs. Owen, I shall show myself out if there’s nothing else.”
Seth placed down his cutlery and attempted to persuade Zayn to stay while virtual-novel.net scolded at Allana furiously, “Allana, look at you, you’re so impolite that you’re driving Zayn away in anger! How do I raise you, you must’ve forgotten everything that I’ve taught you huh!”
Allana was infuriated as well because virtual-novel.net was strong and independent by nature. “Dad, are you through? I’ve told you many times that I have a boyfriend already and I’m not interested in this old man. Why do you have to force me to do something that I don’t want to! Am I just a tool to you, have you truly never considered my feelings and care about my happiness huh!”
Allana’s heart was filled with endless grief and injustice as well. Her eyes reddened as virtual-novel.net spoke. She glared at Seth in a very furious, recalcitrant manner.
Her action disgraced Seth. He placed down his cutlery loudly and scolded in anger, “You little twat!”
Witnessing the scene, Zayn felt overwhelmed by the situation. He should have rejected Seth and not come to Seth’s house for the meal if virtual-novel.net knew that this would happen.
Allana’s gaze was filled with hatred and resentment as virtual-novel.net looked at Zayn. She found virtual-novel.net to be a pretentious, hideous man who ruined virtual-novel.net relationship with Bo.
Meanwhile, virtual-novel.net had no choice but to step forward to put in a word. “Mr. Owen, I think you shouldn’t scold Allana anymore. She’s right that you’ve genuinely disregarded virtual-novel.net feelings and not cared about virtual-novel.net happiness. I’m married already. Moreover, I’m close to ten years older than Allana. There’s no happiness in a forced relationship.”
“Uh…” Seth’s lips moved but virtual-novel.net was speechless.
